Dandelion coffee is a caffeine-free, herbal delight made from the roots of the classic bright yellow flower. Here's how to turn that backyard weed into a nutritious, tasty drink!
Place your fresh dandelion roots (thoroughly rinsed) in a single layer on a roasting pan. Roast them for 45 minutes at 350 F.
Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the roots into your small pot.
Add the water, chicory, and cinnamon to the pot. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture through a strainer into your coffee mug. Add milk, sugar, or creamer if you’d like, and enjoy your dandelion coffee!
Notes
Make sure that your dandelion roots are pesticide-free and thoroughly rinsed. If you use weed killers or other chemicals in your yard, you’ll probably want to look for a different source of edible dandelions.
